Welcome to Rein in Sarcoma

Though Sarcomas are rare, you are not alone in your battle against the disease. The Karen Wyckoff Rein in Sarcoma Foundation provides news, resources, and a way to connect to others with the disease. Since our inception in 2001, Rein In Sarcoma has had the opportunity to serve many individuals who, like you, have waged a personal war against this disease.

Governor Mark Dayton has declared July as Sarcoma Awareness month in Minnesota. Many activities are occurring through out the month my RIS and our Partners culminating in the July 27th Party in the Park. In his declaration Gov Dayton and the Secretary of State stated:

The FIFTH ANNUAL ANNA ROGOTZKE MEMORIAL KICKBALL TOURNAMENT and FAMILY FUN DAY will be held Sanborn, Minnesota on Satruday July 18 to honor the life of Anna Rogotzke. The tournament is apart of July Sarcoma Awareness month activities, declared by Gov Dayton.

For the first time RIS will have a real presence at the MN State Fair as a part of the University’s Driven to Discover Building. This is a unique opportunity to both conduct research and spread the word about Sarcoma Cancers. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO MAKE THIS WORK.

Our Sarcoma Scholars under the direction of Dr. Dusenbery (Amber Retzlaff chief author) have written a survey with the purpose of assessing what the average Minnesotan knows about sarcoma.
